Terrion Arnold of the Lions remarked that if they lined up against each other, he would smash his mother into the ground.
Tamala Arnold, happy Mother’s Day!
Terrion Arnold, the Detroit Lions’ first-round choice in 2024, is making a name for himself as a reliable source of quotes.
The cornerback caused a stir earlier this week when he said the Los Vegas Raiders had intended to select him with their first-round pick (No. 13 overall), but on a coin flip, they chose Georgia tight end Brock Bowers. The Raiders rejected Arnold’s account.
Arnold informed reporters he decided to wear jersey number 0 when he reported to rookie minicamp on Thursday because “nobody likes me.”
Arnold may have delivered his best quote so far on Friday. He discussed how crucial his mother has been in developing his competitiveness as a player in light of Sunday’s Mother’s Day.
According to Pride of Detroit, Arnold remarked, “I had to continuously beat my mom when I was a kid, and I used to beat her in racing.”
When I was younger, we used to fight while just playing around and wrestling. We were fighting so furiously that, well, I’ll never forget the time my mom kicked out my teeth.”
It’s likely that he would have grabbed notice if he had disclosed that his mother had once kicked out his tooth during a fight.
However, Arnold added a superior quote to that one, describing the intense rivalry between him and his mother.
“I would smash my mother into the dirt if she were standing next to me as a receiver right now,” Arnold declared.
That’s just how I think. My mother is aware of this. Concerning football, that’s just my mentality and upbringing.”
It’s hard to envision a lot of other sons telling their moms the same thing on Sunday.
Additionally, this might present a possibility for Arnold and his mother, Tamala, to be endorsers. Picture a mother and her son forming a line for an advertisement, like one for Campbell’s Chunky Soup.
Arnold paid a more traditional yet sincere homage to his mother during the scouting combine.
On NFL Network, Tamala Arnold remarked, “I just want to say, I love you.” It’s a blessing that you are my mother.
As a result of your tremendous victory, I’m going to keep shining. exactly the way you brought me up. I will always be aware of my origins.”
